2023 African Football League
The African Football League (AFL) is an annual continental men's club football competition run by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) since 2023.[1][2] It was announced on 28 November 2019 by Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA. It was initially launched as the Africa Super League on 10 August 2022 and was to include twenty-four elite African clubs with a promotion/relegation system,[3] but is scaled down to eight teams for its inaugural campaign. It will run alongside CAF's other main club competition, the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup, and will not be a replacement for it.
The essence of holding this tournament is the huge financial returns, projected to exceed $100 million[clarification needed], to be used to develop and improve stadiums, infrastructure and the promotion of African football.[citation needed]
